Summary:
Canton College Preparatory School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with 407 students enrolled. Based on the available data, this school appears to be underperforming compared to other elementary schools in Ohio.
The school is ranked 1181 out of 1558 Ohio elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average. Its test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates as low as 34.4% in 5th grade science and 34.5% in 8th grade math, compared to state averages of 63.4% and 47.6% respectively. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 54.4%, much higher than the state average.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 20.3 is slightly higher than the recommended range, its spending per student of $7,546 is lower than the state average. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance over the past three years, suggest the school may be facing resource constraints that contribute to its academic struggles. Addressing the low test scores, high absenteeism, and potential resource issues should be the focus of the school's improvement efforts.
